A Parent’s Guide to Neuro Physiotherapy for Kids

Paediatric neuro physiotherapy, sometimes called neuro physio or neurological physiotherapy, supports children with conditions that affect the brain, spine, or nervous system. Natasha Ardiles holds a Master of Physiotherapy and a Bachelor of Medical Science. She’s an experienced paediatric physiotherapist specialising in supporting children with developmental and neurological needs, from general childhood conditions to disabilities, through tailored, NDIS-aligned care. Our neurological physiotherapists help children improve mobility, strength, and independence through tailored care.

When you choose us, you can expect a comprehensive range of support services designed to meet your child’s health conditions. Our neurological physiotherapists design individualised assessments and provide play-based therapy, strength and mobility training, balance and coordination exercises, and sensory integration supports. Here’s what we offer:

Families choose Leaping Kids because we understand the unique challenges children face with neurological conditions. One parent described how their daughter, initially overwhelmed by simple tasks, found steady improvement under Natasha's patient guidance. Her expertise, kindness, and clear, professional communication helped build both physical progress and family confidence. That blend of skill and genuine empathy is what parents consistently notice and trust.

We don’t just provide therapy. We partner with you and your child to support their growth and independence. We take time to understand how your child moves, thinks, and learns so we can create personalised sessions that build strength, improve coordination, and increase confidence at a pace that works for your family.
